Add a new flutter cli command, running-apps, using mDNS app discovery by jwren · Pull Request #180098 · flutter/flutter

jwren · 2025-12-18T22:45:06Z

Includes:

Display running apps in a formatted table with age calculation
Implement mDNS discovery for running apps (multiple devices/interfaces)
Deduplicate apps by WebSocket URI
Centralize mDNS device advertisement in MDNSDeviceDiscovery
Ensure ResidentRunner advertises correct app name and cleans up
Add network utility functions and JSON support for running-apps
Add comprehensive tests for discovery and list command

Lastly, this change uses mDNS to discover running Flutter apps, the multicast_dns package is used instead of mdns_dart as the discovery functionality is insufficient in the mdns_dart package, only discovering a maximum of one service.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a significant feature: mDNS-based discovery and advertisement of running Flutter applications. It adds a new running-apps command to display these apps, enhances network utilities, and integrates mDNS advertisement into the resident runners for both mobile/desktop and web platforms. The changes are well-structured and include comprehensive tests for the new functionality. My review includes a few suggestions for improving type safety and performance in the new code.

+      apps.sort((Map<String, dynamic> a, Map<String, dynamic> b) {
+        final int? epochA = int.tryParse(a['epoch'] as String? ?? '');
+        final int? epochB = int.tryParse(b['epoch'] as String? ?? '');

+        if (epochB == null) {
+          return -1; // Put unknown age last
+        }
+        return epochB.compareTo(epochA);
+      });


The apps list is of type List<Map<String, String>>. The sort callback should use Map<String, String> for its parameters to match this type. This improves type safety and allows removing the unnecessary cast.

Suggested change

apps.sort((Map<String, dynamic> a, Map<String, dynamic> b) {

final int? epochA = int.tryParse(a['epoch'] as String? ?? '');

final int? epochB = int.tryParse(b['epoch'] as String? ?? '');

if (epochA == null && epochB == null) {

return 0;

}

if (epochA == null) {

return 1; // Put unknown age last

}

if (epochB == null) {

return -1; // Put unknown age last

}

return epochB.compareTo(epochA);

});

apps.sort((Map<String, String> a, Map<String, String> b) {

final int? epochA = int.tryParse(a['epoch'] ?? '');

final int? epochB = int.tryParse(b['epoch'] ?? '');

if (epochA == null && epochB == null) {

return 0;

}

if (epochA == null) {

return 1; // Put unknown age last

}

if (epochB == null) {

return -1; // Put unknown age last

}

return epochB.compareTo(epochA);

});

+1, these type parameters can just be String.

The apps list is of type List<Map<String, String>>. The loop variable app should be typed as Map<String, String> to match. This improves type safety and allows removing the unnecessary casts.

+            service: '_flutter_devices._tcp',
+            port: await findUnusedPort(),


The port for the mDNS service should correspond to the service being advertised, which is the VM service. Using vmServiceUri.port is more accurate and avoids the overhead of calling findUnusedPort() repeatedly in a loop for each network interface. findUnusedPort() binds and closes a socket, which is an unnecessary operation here.

Suggested change

port: await findUnusedPort(),

port: vmServiceUri.port,

+        appName: FlutterProject.fromDirectory(
+          globals.fs.directory(projectRootPath),
+        ).manifest.appName,


Calling FlutterProject.fromDirectory inside this loop is inefficient as it may perform file I/O on each iteration. It's better to determine the appName once before the loop starts.

This can just be FlutterProject.current(). It wouldn't hurt to hoist this out of the loop, although it shouldn't cause repeated I/O.

If we're just rethrowing, I don't think we need this block.

Shouldn't this only run once when the application started?

We also duplicate this logic in Emulator.descriptions and Device.descriptions. We should probably create a helper utility to handle sizing and printing tables to the terminal.

I considered it for this PR, but it should be a follow up, given the size of this PR already. Created an issue, and commented in the code. -- #180949

We should define constants for all of these keys and use them in place of string literals.

We're trying to avoid introducing additional uses of globals in new code, so any instances accessed via globals should be passed into the command's constructor.

+    // dynamically assign a free port by using port 0.

+    @visibleForTesting SystemClock? systemClock,
+    required Logger logger,
+  }) : _mdnsClient = mdnsClient,
+       _systemClock = systemClock ?? globals.systemClock,


The systemClock parameter should just be required so we don't need to use globals here. In general, we shouldn't be importing globals.dart in any new files.

+

Consider just setting _mdnsClient = mdnsClient ?? MDnsClient() in the initialization list, then _mdnsClient can be non-nullable.

Nit: '_flutter_devices._tcp' should be defined as a constant.

It's unlikely that we'll be seeing different formats given that it's other tool instances that will be advertising, but should we consider trimming these key/value pairs to ensure there's no extra whitespace?

done, test added as well

Are there security implications for this? Should we make responding to discovery an optional feature?

How about recording this detail in the commit message?

Holding off for now, I am going to revisit having this method (see TODO.)

[nit] I'm not sure the Flutter repo stance on fully redundant doc comments. In Dart repos and internally to google3 we prefer omitting docs over including docs which are redundant with the signature. Consider expanding this, and if it can't be expanded consider removing this depending on Flutter repo conventions.

removed this comment. Thanks Nate.

Are these two cases not covered by isRunningOnBot?

Ubernit: maybe it's worth defining these constants based on each other rather than using the final integers?

Something like:

const kSecondMs = 1000; const kMinuteMs = kSecondMs * 60; const kHourMs = kMinuteMs * 60; const kDayMs = kHourMs * 24; // ...

Will these always be Unix style line endings? Would it be safer to use LineSplitter.split(...)?

Changed to LineSplitter

We should just return after this print and remove the else statement to reduce nesting.

We should be using the same constants as we use in the command class to ensure they don't diverge.

await serversToStop .map( (s) => s.stop().catchError( (e) => logger.printTrace('Error stopping mDNS server: $e'), ), ) .wait;

That way we don't have to block waiting on each server to start individually.

Set.add returns a boolean you can check to see if it was new:

Suggested change

seenUris.add(uri);

if (!seenUris.add(uri)) {

continue;

+                  }
+                  apps.add(metadata);


Do we want to do this if the uri is null?

In my opinion if devs are running the new command, flutter running-apps and they get content back without a URI to use, it would be better to know that the rest of the mechanism is working -- reporting an app, just not with uri. @bkonyi -- does this seem reasonable to you?

I don't think there's anything actionable on the user side if there's an app without a URI, so I don't think it would hurt to just throw the entry away. Is it even possible to advertise without a VM service URI?

It looks like FlutterVmService only has null HTTP / WS URI entries in tests, so they should never be null in practice and we should never encounter a null uri. We should update the type to be non-nullable to indicate that.

This should probably just be part of run.dart since we're not using it in any other command. Also, we should define a constant for enable-local-discovery and use it in the error message where it's referenced.

Do we expect this to be called more than once for a given instance?

The method advertise is called only once per MDNSDeviceDiscovery instance, immediately after the device connects. However, the stop() call at the beginning of advertise serves as a defensive measure.

Since we never expect for advertise to be invoked more than once I think it'd be better to fail loudly. Being defensive here instead of raising an exception could result in unexpected behavior that could be hard to pin down.

Nit: is this logger within package:mdns_dart? If so, I'd reference package:mdns_dart instead of just mdns_dart here.

Also, maybe it makes sense to move this further up in the call stack where it can only be invoked once? Maybe even behind a static flag in the constructor of this class? It feels strange that we're resetting this state each time this method is invoked, particularly since hierarchicalLoggingEnabled applies to all loggers and could technically be set elsewhere.
